President Bola Tinubu has been urged to return the subsidies on electricity and fuel or face renewed protests from Nigerians. The Osun State Civil Societies Coalition, the umbrella body of civil society organisations in the state, stated this in a statement released at the end of the official 10-day period for the #EndBadGovernance protest.
The statement signed by its chairman, Waheed Lawal, expressed the coalition's condemnation of President Tinubu 's nationwide broadcast on the protests, stressing that youths will return to the streets and demand good governance. Lawal urged the federal government to introduce policies that will lessen the burden of economic hardship on Nigerians, not the palliatives it is distributing to the states. The civil society organisations also demanded the release of the detained protesters.
Mr President spoke without listening to most Nigerians who are lamenting ‘ebi n pawa o’ every day. “We demand the reversal of fuel and electricity subsidies removal because it has been hurting the citizens, leading to hyperinflation, a high cost of living and economic hardship in the country.
